Hello Claudia, thank you for your interest. The types of plants in this border are perennials. But you're probably after the names of plants? There are many in here, the client wanted lots! So we have Heleniums, Verbena bonariensis, Eupatorium, Cyanara, Miscanthus, Aster, Kniphofia. At the front of the border...Heuchera, Nepeta, Stachys, Geranium, Potentilla... The border was only about 1.6m deep (front to back) so generating a feeling of depth to the border was challenging. Especially as the high yew hedges behind the raised beds meant the plants tended to lean forward... Lots of staking and supports required... Hope this helps.

Hi anne, that's what I was originally thinking, my issue is what colour I use for the 'pop' :) I keep coming back to a teal/turquoise colour (it's one of my favourite colours!!), I love blues, purples, teal/turquoise - many on here have suggested yellow but I'm really not sure about it. Here in New Zealand we're in Autumn, nearing Winter so uncertain about the yellow. I found these cushions that I've fallen in love it, and wondering how I could make these work.. do I try teal and mustard together, as an interior designer suggested?

I love that colorful floral!! it almost has a 40 vibe, and glamorous - I think it would look great in small toilet, maybe matte gold color mirror frame (and everything else white). The other floral is more retro - I prefer the glamorous florar. For the bathroom, if its a paper wallpaper I wouldn't use it beause of the moisture from showers might have the paper corners come off, and you can't really clean it - so I would skip wallpaper there. I love wallpaper and the drama it gives, but it has it challenges. But I like your choises so far, so you are on the right track. If you do something for the lounge I would do something geometric, and monogromatic more subtle.

Add a fabric wall hanging – looks like there is space on the wall behind the Chesterfield loveseat? A woven shawl or table runner from your travels overseas (if you've bought anything) on a dowel would complement your Tintin in Tibet art, and not add clutter to the space. And an ottoman that doubles as a storage box or small coffee table (put a tray over it as a stable base for your coffee) would be nice to put your feet up on as well as add to the bohemian look.

Hmm, I'd aim for balance. The last time these colours were in fashion, in the very early 1990s, I had light pink, light blue , light green and black. In some rooms there was white instead of black. They all worked well together. There are lots of recent pastel rooms on Houzz photos. Also florals are about to appear on the scene, in big digital murals and digital printing on cushions, on rugs, etc. it's a modern version, but still florals. Pink and the pastels work well with florals. Which way does the room face? If it faces South, in the Southern Hemisphere, go for a warmer colour.
